Revive wxIA

[versable]

Hey there,

I've recently been looking for a TWAIN wrapper in one of the projects my team is coding, and found the old wxia project from Derry Bryson. I've imported the code from CVS (http://wxia.cvs.sourceforge.net/wxia) to github (https://github.com/versable/wxia) and changed the code according to this forum thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2491.

Additionally I updated the build system and somewhat unified a style to make the code more readable.

I'm currently testing it under a debian system and so far it recognizes my network scanner, although it does not scan yet.
The goal is to have it running under Linux and Windows.

If anyone is interested in coding/testing/bug reporting just visit the github page or leave a comment here. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Not in position to help you, but this post just to send you my encouragements. Good luck, versable.

Thanks for the encouragement eranon.

The SANE part of wxIA apparently never was finished, the bindings to the c library are there, and the scanner detection/selection is implemented.
After I have acquainted myself a bit with the SANE API, i've managed to read the scanner options into the SANE dialog (see screenshot). I'm expecting to get scanning working for SANE very shortly. I haven't tested TWAIN as of yet, but I did update the TWAIN headers.
